To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder, avoid “bottoming out” the wedge plate to
the foot piece. To conform with industry safety recommendations, the wedge stops
1.5 inches from the end of the stroke.
Cracks in logs can close quickly and pinch fingers. Keep fingers away from
any cracks that open in partially split logs.
Neutral position - In this position the cylinder does not move even though the
engine is running.
Reverse position - Move the lever in this position to retract the cylinder. Push
the lever fully in this direction to lock in return mode. The lever will automatically
return to the neutral position once the cylinder fully retracts.
Keep hands and fingers away from the splitter wedge and log stripper
during cylinder retraction.
Stuck Log Procedure
If a log does not split completely and becomes stuck
on the wedge, never attempt to remove it by modi-
fying the splitter or adding attachments to the split-
ter.
Move the control lever to the Reverse position and
allow the cylinder to retract until the stuck log con-
tacts the stripper plates. Continue to retract the cyl-
inder until the log is dislodged from the wedge.
Do not use the unit if the stripper ~ plates are bent
or damaged. Bent or damaged stripper plates must
be repaired or replaced before use.
TRANSPORTING
Moving By Hands
The log splitter is heavy. It can crush and cause serious injury if it rolls out
of control or tips over.

1. Make sure the log splitter is locked in the horizontal position with latch rod before moving.
